So I went in to pick up my HK USP9 today. And was bout ready to leave when I saw my most coveted polymer frame gun, that wasn't an M&P. An HK USP45. Of course that is a bad thing seeing as how I didn't want to spen any more than I was. Well instead of leaving with my first 9mm service pistol, I left with both. So for my total spending spree I cam home with:
HK USP45
HK USP9 w/ night sights
50 rounds of 230 grain Federal HST HP
50 rounds of 124 grain +P Federal HST HP
50 rounds of 230 Remington FMJ (Dealer gave me free)
50 rounds of 115 S&B FMJ (Another freebie)
Fobus Paddle holster, only fits the 9, DANG IT!
Total for the evening $1300 ish
And I'm picking up next week a M&P9c with night sights 3 mags and
16x pmc starfire 124gr hp
18x 115gr hornady critcal defense
35x magyech gaurdian gold 115+p hp
13x 135gr hydrashocks
13x Winchester 124gr+p bonded supreme elite
45 Speer gold dot hp 115 gr
for $650 this gun has never been fired
I feel like triplets aren't such a bad thing!

Remember these words. "Dear, I got a discount, the more you spend, the more you save!" Or take two " And its something that will last to be passed down to the kids. You wouldn't want your little girl to be ravished by some raghead, commie without a Green Card because she wasn't strapped with an H@K would you? Its for the children, damnit!" Good luck. ;D
FQ13 who is rofl and saysd cool toys, give us a report.

Nice but I hope you are single already, otherwise you soon may be. ;D

Just me and my dog and now twins (USP9 & USP45) And as soon as the snow clears my M&P40 is going to have a "baby" brother (M&P9c). And of course my M&P15 custom. So I feel good. Is it sad that I don't have a woman in the mix here? I think not. No woman I've ever know would understand the passion for the sport. Tom I hope the Canon arrived in good shape. Let me know if everything is working for yeah.

I have to remember to buy batteries tomorrow, after being in 4 different stores today that sold them ::)
If you ever find that girl, let me know if she has an older sister ! ( She doesn't have to be THAT much older, I prefer the smell of perfume better than liniment ;D )

Helluva shopping spree!!! USP's are the creme de la creme. Good choice, and a great set. Hope you get on the preferred customer list with your dealer, for any future purchases, even if it's patches to clean with...
Look forward to some more pics and range reports..... I think you have become officially "Zombie Proof"... ;)

Not till I get my Mossberg 590A1 with a fixed bayonet! haha. I just checked my serial numbers on my HKs. Both were made in 1995, my 9mm USP is the 26,461st one made and the 45 USP is the 20,211st one made. These could actually be worth something in 30 years.

No woman I've ever know would understand the passion for the sport. POSTED BY GARAND4LIFE
Sport? Its a life style. Actually, its a freaking cult where spending $1300 on lethal hardware seems like a rational act. Drink your Kool-aid and smile with the rest of us. If you're lucky, you'll meet an M'lette or Little Red. ;D
FQ13 who wishes you the joy of your toys and is thoroughly amused. Ahh, to be young, single and employed, don't take a second for granted. :-\

I figured that because of events this year I needed to fill the void of the guns I sold.
My Garand, which I sold to a friend for his father's 82 birthday. Sold my PT1911, my Enfield No1 Mk3, Mossberg 500, Ruger LCP, and my G22. Sold I am filling the voids they left.

No, you just tell her the truth..... You bought her a 9MM and a 45 to choose which one she likes best, then the other one is yours so you have his & hers!!! ;D

I just found this and I am laughing my butt off... Especially since my USP9 has Washington State DOC markings and my normal carry gun is a M&P40!!

Washington State Patrol Switches to S&W MP40 Duty Pistol
The Washington State Patrol has adopted Smith & Wesson's MP40 as its duty pistol primarily due to the availability of replacement parts and interchangable grip selection, the agency tells POLICE Magazine.
The agency ordered 1,400 of the .40-caliber pistols from S&W, and will eventually cease using the Heckler & Koch .40-caliber autoloader state troopers began carrying in 2003, the agency's PIO Sgt. Freddy Williams wrote in an e-mail.
"Over the years, there has been some difficulty in getting replacement parts [for the H&K], and we feel we would receive better customer service from Smith and Wesson," Williams wrote. "The availability of multi-sized grips aided in the selection of the S&W M&P, because when it comes to handguns, one size does not fit all."
The WSP selected the polymer M&P pistol after extensive testing. In addition to the pistol's ergonomics, evaluators also said its ambidextrous controls would benefit their officers.
The M&P pistol features a Zytel polymer frame reinforced with a stainless steel chassis and a black Melonite finished stainless steel barrel and slide for durability; a passive trigger safety to prevent the pistol from firing if dropped; and a sear-release lever that eliminates the need to press the trigger in order to disassemble the firearm.
A loaded chamber indicator is located on top of the slide. The firearm also features an ambidextrous slide stop and a reversible magazine release, as well as an enlarged trigger guard designed to accommodate gloves. The M&P40 has a 15 + 1 round capacity. The M&P pistol series is available in 9mm, .40S&W, .357SIG,and .45ACP calibers. Compact versions of the M&P pistol are also available for concealed carry and back-up use.
In addition to supplying the Washington State Patrol, Smith & Wesson Corp. has shipped 1,300 M&P pistols to the Washington State Department of Corrections.
"Contracts from departments such as the Washington State Patrol demonstrate the diversity of the M&P pistol series, as well as the ability of the M&P product line to meet a broad range of applications and requirements," said Leland Nichols, Smith & Wesson's senior VP of sales and marketing. "The recent orders from the multiple state agencies within Washington include contracts for not only the M&P40 but also for the M&P9 and M&P45 pistol."
